Could you build this?
No Porting a complex 3D commercial game engine like GTA Vice City (e.g. re3) natively to Apple Silicon with a Metal graphics backend requires deep systems programming and graphics API expertise.
What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse-engineering source code (such as the re3/reVC codebase) in C++, replacing DirectX/OpenGL rendering backends with Apple's Metal shading language, and handling ARM64 architecture memory alignment and platform-specific audio/input libraries. It requires specialized graphics engineering, Apple platform SDK expertise, and game engine porting experience.
